The Maasai Market is the destination where you want to buy all of your tourist souvenirs. The Maasai Market has endured the test of time and numerous re-locations by the Nairobi City Council to become the premier market for African artefacts and curios in Nairobi for the many tourists who throng the city as the main start point in their exploration of Kenya’s tourist destinations. Maasai market has a variety of artefacts and curios from all over Kenya and Africa ranging from ornaments to functional kitchen items, beddings, clothing, artefacts and a lot more.

It is suggested to explore the market on your own as there are some self-appointed guides who will seem like they are good Samaritans offering to show you the best items asking you what you are looking for and trying to engage in small talk. Be very weary of them, they will get a cut/commission/tip from you then proceed to extort any artisan you bought from.
